Virtual

Warmer day today and very damp but still cold in the breeze

Made it to CP1 today at Hebden Bridge after a climb up to see Stoodley Pike. A brief rest then off down the Rochdale Canal before turning right with a cruel climb out of the Calder Valley. It’s a nice stretch then over Heptonstall Moor with Hardcastle Craggs to my right, such a shame I’m not running through there as its a gorgeous place but I’m entering Bronte country now so tomorrow should be nice.

Reality

A little bit warmer today and slightly damp with the odd shower.

Run 7.40 miles – A lunchtime run today from work heading through Thompson Park, up to Pike Hill down into Townleey then 1 lap of Burnley Parkrun before heading back to work up past the fire station. Still lots of snow around but easy enough to run on.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider sponsoring me for this mammoth challenge, it’s for an incredible cause and inspired by an incredible person in Laura Nuttall 🙂

My motivation for this has come from a very special person called Laura Nuttall who in late 2018, was diagnosed with terminal multiple brain tumours at the young age of 18. Her determination and positive attitude to not only live her life to the full but also to help others as an ambassador for the charity is just incredible and I’m proud to join the fight in whatever way I can. You can read Laura’s story at the following link. Please be generous and help this great charity to raise much-needed funds for researching a cure.
